I looked at my daughter's face and thought, it's lovely to be beautiful but better to be healthy.

I was entirely natural and in many ways I have the same attitude now. I don't mourn the loss of my youth because I believe you should enjoy what you have while you have it.

I keep waiting, like in the cartoons, for an anvil to drop on my head.

I have also come to understand Congress' need for a bipartisan as well as a partisan capacity.

As for memes, the word 'meme' is a cliche, which is to say it's already a meme. We all hear it all the time, and maybe we even have started to use it in ordinary speech.

I've been lucky to conduct the very best orchestras in the world: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Berlin, the London Philharmonic.

Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.

There are a lot of people who helped make Queen Latifah who she is today. I don't forget, but a lot of people do and get big heads.
